In this unit, pupils take responsibility for planning, devising and implementing ways of improving their school grounds. Using a planned process of survey, investigation, consultation, discussion and analysis (plan, do, review) they develop strategies that meet some of their school's needs and those of the wider community. They learn the importance of negotiation and balancing the different needs and requirements of individuals and groups. Pupils take an active role in implementing a democratically agreed plan for improvement and reflect on the process of participation.
This unit links closely with work in geography and education for sustainable development. It builds on work that many pupils will have undertaken at key stage 2.
